This was rather bizarre. I briefly experienced this bug myself. Both my Beam Rifle characters on Exalted were locked out. However, my Beamer on Justice was not. So, thinking this may be similar to that bug back in the day where EATs were locked out until a level 50 was logged back in to reset the epic bit, I logged my Justice Beamer in, then logged back out.

When I went back to Exalted, both previously locked characters were available to me again.

Hope this additional bit of information helps the devs track down and fix this bug.

I filed a petition about this. They mentioned it was a known issue and by logging out and back in it should resolve itself.

That said, it is happening very frequently on this current build, and is quite a nuisance.

WHAT IS THIS ****? Seriously, been a paying player since september 2005 and this game, mechanically is going to ****. Bad enough I dont have my most recent yearly "vet" badge but now, day off and I cant even log into the f'in game?!?!?!?

Oh, I experienced this too. It was weird. But I backed out, ran the "repair" function in the launcher, and everything seemed fine after that.

I run the repair thing a lot. I guess it makes a diff pschologically, if nothing else...

Seriously, I can certainly understand the annoyance; I'm there myself. But a childish tantrum fixes nothing, folks.

I haven't bothered logging into the game for a week, now. I'm not logging in until things are sufficiently fixed. If the situation persists to my subscription date, I'm unsubbing until things are fixed. Simple equation, really.


Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

You have not logged in for a week? You are going to unsub? Gee, that sounds like..what IS the word..a bit of a tantrum! And you know what, a childish tantrum sure does fix something..I bet it made him feel better.

On the interwebz, sounding like a ten year-old puts you one standard deviation above the median apparent age of of other interwebz denizens.

Nope, just don't see the point in spending money on something that isn't using it to improve the state of the game. If I wanted to throw a tantrum, I'd have demanded the game be fixed right NOW!!!

Which is, after all, exactly what he did...

Not doing business with people who provide what you consider unsatisfactory service is throwing a tantrum?

Wow. Poorly run companies must love you.

If you want to start talking about issues with survivability, tohit, and such, you'll have to back that up with more than "I play this game A LOT". That means (statistically significant) data. Arcanaville-approved level data.
While I can't speak to some of the other claims Broom makes, I can say there HAVE been discussions on how gauntlet seems to interfere with the streakbreaker.

Of all the new bugs that turned up, the one that is most likely to stop me playing is the changes to ragdoll mechanics. I was playing last night and for some reason I couldn’t stand seeing the way the defeated mobs where twisting into impossible shapes etc. It may seems like a minor bug, but It’s hard not to notice and completely destroyed any immersion of the game (at least for me).

COX did have some of the best physics mechanics of all the MMOPRGs, but since the last patch it’s now got one of the worst. I guess the other bugs I can put up with, or take no notice of, but for some peculiar reason this one just keeps jumping out and screaming at me…

I haven't logged in since that bug went live. Half my 50s play very differently now, and not for the better, in my experience. I understand not minding or even liking this change for melee-centric people, but I went pretty heavy on the energy blast and storm sets, because for me they were the most fun.

I don't get why this isn't in the patch notes or the known issues. Either KB was changed deliberately or it wasn't, and they're going to change it back or they aren't.

I'll keep waiting, because what else can I do? In general I think the intentions are good around here. But if the subscription renewal comes up again at the end of December and still no one has bothered to type out "we changed KB, like it or lump it" or "oh hey that's a bug it's on the list", then I'm done. I'm not even asking when it will be fixed, here, just for a statement of intent. Given that entire powersets were built around KB, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for clarification: is this an intentional direction change or not?

I am making the assumption that it is a feature, but at least they should let us know if that is the case.

We're still investigating it, but the current theory is that an update with the PhysX code is the culprit in this particular issue. Again, we're still digging through the code, so nothing concrete yet, but that's our current suspicion.

I ran into this bug last night, and noticed that it wasn't listed on the Known Issues thread, so if it could be added that would be great.

The Cross-Faction Co-op Zone bug; I was on a Rogue, and decided to join a Dr. Kahn. The missions are mostly via the train, and most heroes take Ouroboros to exit the first appearance of Reichsman in the Troop Portal mission, and then get to PI for the last few. I didn't make that mistake to use the Villain Ouroboros, but to get from FF to PI, I decided to go through RWZ. When I zoned into RWZ, I was no longer on the team, and left'em with DPS issues for the last fight with Reichsman due to it.

I've also had this happen on Statesman TFs while playin' Rogues.

Again, please add this to the Known Issues list as it has persevered for at least a issue and a half.

Thank you.

I was wondering when the crashing bug on macs when using hte Paragon Market for more than three minutes out of every 15 or so was gonna make it on the list of known issues. I'm not expecting a fix anytime soon (it took two years to fix the same bug with base editors....) but knowing it's an acknowledged bug that's being looked into would be nice.

And what's with this new bug with floating Inspiration Trays being moved to center screen with every zoning? Can't you guys leave the UI alone and stop mucking it up with every new release?

Is it a new bug? Or more of the same old one?

One of my teammates was complaining about that last night. I haven't had that problem.

Corrected when? My windows are still randomly resetting their opacity level, and they are not darkening when I mouse-over them. It's incredibly annoying to have to find a dark background to stand in front of, if I want to actually see what's showing in my windows. Chat window will darken ONLY if I have team/league/sg/email window above it, and then only if I have my cursor sitting on the top window. Market, Vault, Salvage, Recipes...why aren't these going opaque when I mouse-over????

That's not the bug being referenced. The bug being referenced is the one where windows would semi-randomly move when a person entered the game or zoned. That's the one that was fixed.
